Retirement
communities are also referred to as Senior Independent Living or Senior
Living, and are designed to be caring communities for reasonably active
and independent seniors in their retirement years. Some retirement
communities may impose age restrictions, only accepting residents aged
55 years and older.
Living
in a retirement community usually means that you have your own condominium
or apartment as part of a designated and specially built community construction.
Retirement communities often feature such things as swimming pools, golf
courses and hiking trails. They may run regular health and fitness
activities, and general interest clubs for those in their senior years.
The
costs for living in a retirement community can vary considerably, but are
usually anything between $1000 and $4000 per month.
